Purpose, from the sponsor's memo
This amendment would extend the number of years eligible municipal corporations and school districts can receive mitigation assistance when facing loss of tax or PILOT revenue from the closure of electric gener- ating facilities. This amendment would extend the window of eligibility for assistance from the current 7 years to a total of 12 years.

The sponsor's argument
Why Pete Harckham says this is needed
The electric generation facility cessation mitigation program was created to provide funding assistance to counties, towns, cities, villages, school districts, and special districts that experience a reduction in the amount of real property taxes and/or PILOTs owed by an electric generating facility. Under the current structure of the program, a local government entity may receive annual funding over seven years. In each year for which an application is made, the revenue loss from the amount owed in the last year of operation must be 20% or great- er and occur as a direct result of the electric generating facility ceasing operations. Since the inception of this legislation in 2015, municipal corporations and school districts continue to face the dire consequences of lost revenue due to a facility closure. This amendment extends the funding formula for an additional five years to ensure that such local government entities are able to compensate for lost revenue.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
